[bird_man]

Warner on his way to a 250 here!

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

I can see Warner belting that car next.

 

[NSWCROW]

this sums my reaction up

 

[Rusty22]

150 well done davey

 

[ep2018]

Come on 200 for Warner

 

[Patron]

We should be trying to make 400 here, 10 an over from here.

 

[Smoooothy]

Whats the quickest 200?

Think it was Gayle last week

 

[1990crow]

We should be trying to make 400 here, 10 an over from here.

Doable. Depends on Maxwell and Marsh.

 

[PowerbaII]

He makes it look so easy, great stuff.

 

[rippersnipper]

Afghani fans are awesome

 

[Patron]

Doable. Depends on Maxwell and Marsh.

Or if we put clarke in next

Patient 50 from Steve Smith, nothing wrong with that at this stage though. He is showing Shane Watson how a proper number 3 batsman plays.

Yeah, against a minnow. Where was he against NZ?

 

[western royboy]

We could easily make 400 with just these two batting. What would 1-400 be like for our batsman - not good for thos needing a hit in the middle.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Good call to send Australia in.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Watson has been dropped (with strong support on here) after averaging 22 with the bat since the start of 2014.

Maxwell has averaged 28 over the same period. They aren't far apart, which suggests Maxwell is in the team for his superior fielding, and his bowling

Maxwell's strike rate too is 139, bats at 6, when the hit is often on, and is our spin option.

 

[GOAUS!]

Why couldn't Warner do this against NZ?

#minnowbasher

He was the 2nd highest scorer for Australia against NZ.

 

[it_is_the_light]

That's what happens when you heavily overrate one player based on one good series of hitting hundreds against popgun bowling on roads. You get disappointed when they don't fire when the chips are down

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Yeah, against a minnow. Where was he against NZ?

The whole side failed there not just Smith

 

[Anzac16]

Warner needs 44 off 17 to beat Gayle's record. Reckon he is every chance here.

 

[it_is_the_light]

The whole side failed there not just Smith

Still no excuse LP1. Tut Tu, making excuses for mediocrity.

 

[NSWCROW]

* look at THAT shifty campaigner

 

[Damon_3388]

Why couldn't Warner do this against NZ?

#minnowbasher

Because their bowling was gooderer. Der.
